Time to start assembling 1.5 TD / 1.9L Franken Diesel.

I'm getting my mind around it.

There is one more meet at Bonneville this year - scheduled for Sept 30th - October 4th.  I'm setting my sights on that week.

Absolutely wonderful build! I am rootin for ya! Most turbo talk is still greek to me, but one day I will have the chance to dive in! When funding permits, I will learn

[RabbitJockey]

Hey atleast that gives you more time for some shake down and to get the engine broken in and see what rpms it is strongest at


You have the whole forum cheering for you.  This is definitely one of the best builds to grace this forum.

[theman53]

That stinks and is good. If you get it broken in it will run better but you could have been racing this weekend. Oh well. I am cheering all the way for you. Start ripping down the road on it and get 1,000 or more miles on it, you have a month.

Bitter sweet indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing your "extra" updates as a result of the extra time.

[ORCoaster]

No such element as Extra Time.  Like unobtainium.  All time is sucked into the void of usefulness and thus productivity spins the world around.

Too bad on the cancel but yes bittersweet if you don't blow it up between now and then.......

Mannnnnnn......

But good...make that great things come to those who wait (whether by choice or not as the case may be)

[flowmastergfunk]

looks like I chimed in a little bit late your time will come!

[Jetmugg]

It's going on the chassis dyno at a local Technical College tomorrow night.

I will be pleased if it can lay down over 140 hp at the wheels.  I'd love to be surprised with a larger number, but that would be a very strong start.

[RabbitJockey]

will you be able to tweak boost and fueling during the tests?

how much boost are you currently running?

    can't wait to hear the results.

[Jetmugg]

The fuel screw is essentially maxxed out right now.  I can definitely adjust the wastegate settings, and pump timing between dyno pulls.

I'll have a friend with a video camera along for the testing, and I have a GoPro camera mounted to the roll cage, which I'll keep pointed at the gauges.

Steve.

[RabbitJockey]

Itd be interesting to see different boost levels.  When powered by spearco dynoed his he went at multiple boodt levels,  it was interesting at low boost 10psi or so his power did not drop off at all as he approached 6k.

[Jetmugg]

It will be very fun, exciting, and nerve wracking, all at the same time.

[RabbitJockey]

heres some dyno threads, maybe you can get an idea of what to expect?

My guess if we are taking them is 175hp-190hp. Hope you make it cannot wait until I see what you did and when you get to run.

Remember too I think you will have 5-10hp more once it is good and broken in/loosened up and that is what my guess is for.
